We think this top would look great in a classic grey/white combo with Natural and Clouds in my Coffee, or a subtle blue-one-blue stripe with Clair de Lune and Feather Canyons. www.sweetpaprikadesigns.com/products/toc...
Today's pattern inspiration for our new Toccata organic cotton is... the Hipster Top by Joji Locatelli. This top is worked from the top down, starting with a fun crossed-stitch detail. Depending on your size you would need 1-3 skeins of each colour in Toccata. www.jojiknits.com/product-page...
We think this top would be brilliant in our sunny Yellow Submarine colourway! Our other top colour choices are Purple People Eater for a rich and vibrant colour, or Feather Canyons if you're looking for a softer choice. www.sweetpaprikadesigns.com/products/toc...
Our next pattern idea for our new Toccata organic cotton yarn is the Dawning Top by Ainur Berkimbayeva @toqutigu.bsky.social. www.toqutigu.com/dawning-top The Dawning Top is a sweet halter top worked from the top down, with radiating spokes and eyelets symbolizing the sun's rays.
Which colour would you knit this in? Here are some of our favourites! 1 - Clair de Lune 2 - Sakura 3 - Fields of Gold 4 - California Dreamin' www.sweetpaprikadesigns.com/products/toc...
First up is the Wild Flowers Tee by Tif Neilan, a drop-shoulder tee worked from the top down, featuring a lace pattern on the front yoke. This pattern would be lovely in a single colour, or you could work the lace portion in a contrasting colour. www.tifhandknits.com/patterns/wil...

Sneak peek of something new we're working on at the studio! Un petit aperçu de ce sur quoi nous travaillons en ce moment à l'atelier !
Ma première expérience de la teinture naturelle s'est faite avec Armen, lorsque nous avons teint le fil présenté ici avec des racines de garance et de l'extrait de grenade. Si vous souhaitez vous essayer à la teinture naturelle, il reste encore des places pour notre prochain atelier le 6 juin
FR: L'instructeur de notre prochain atelier « Intro à la teinture naturelle » est Armen Keuchguerian. Jardinier et teinturier naturel, Armen travaille intimement avec les plantes, en faisant ressortir leurs nuances cachées pour les transposer sur des textiles.
